A collection of short stories, excerpts from novels, and poems by
one of today's great writers. Scavinold shares with us his journeys
into sci-fi, Buddhism, erotica, and poetry that will linger in your
thoughts for years to come. Thoughtful, eclectic, diverse and
anything but ordinary.
Theseus is an epic tale of love and friendship. Torn unjustly from
his wife and children, Theseus becomes the pawn of three old
gangsters set on revenge. He becomes an integral part of the old
gangsters elaborate plan and learns lessons no school could ever
teach. Thrown back into the streets he worked so hard to escape
from, Theseus alters the plan to set in play a course of events
that influences everything and everyone it touches. The tale of his
journey unfolds as he finds his lost wife in a better place and is
forced to look at his own motives and drives, life and ideas of
love. Theseus treads that blurred line between good and bad, love
and hate, right and wrong, madness and sanity. It is a wholesome
tale that leads us through our own mis-wrought illusion of self
aggrandizement and pride. The roles women have suffered, our
inadequate leaders and societal oppression, and the economic
hardships of today are explored with insight only fiction can even
begin to unveil.
Elegant. Raw. Real. Recently early retired, Alex wakes one morning
from a dream of developing a new Tai Chi form. Each morning before
dawn Alex wanders down to the bay to stand silently awaiting the
first intuition of movement. Instead, broken elements of his past
converge on him like whirlwinds merging into a torrid life storm.
Is life bringing these things together for him to interpret into a
form? Is the form bringing his knots and kinks, like stiff muscles,
together for him to process so he can move on? Patterns set up from
early childhood loom. With years of Taoism, Tai Chi, and street
smarts, we perceive through Alex a fresh take on the madness of our
lives and silliness of our convictions. A story of pain, love, and
the subtle wisdom only time and experience can convey. A great
read.
A satire and a ghost story. Set in the early to mid 1960's this
play focuses on the misconceptions of blacks and whites towards
each other, and the undying love between a father and daughter.
Three acts. A wonderful, witty, unveiling of our limitations and
strengths.
Marcus leaves a job assignment in turmoil and seeks solace with his
estranged grandfather. For the first time in his well disciplined
life he is experiencing an unprecedented explosion of rampant
uncontrollable emotion. Aside from his grandfather he has nowhere
else to go. But the old man is more than he bargained for and
pushes him through a series of self-realizations that throw him so
far over the edge he fears he will never make it back to the
comfort of what he called life. Voodoo. Corporate theft. Entities.
Rebirths. Crooked old cons. Beautiful deadly women. Bull Sharks.
Serpent men and staple guns. Marcus must learn to differentiate
between his head and his heart. Standing forever in the background
is the only link between these two men, mother to one, daughter to
the other, the woman who walked into the ocean. Marcus is the
modern all American boy - and boy is he paying for it. A choice
education leaves a lot to be desired. A childhood of convenience
plants seeds that take years to grow - but when they do they choke
out everything else in the forest. This yarn of coming to terms
with who and what we really are will ruffle your feathers, unravel
your senses, and leave you standing alone on a grass-flat in the
middle of the night in the Gulf of Mexico waiting for hungry
sharks. You are never too old to be taught a new lesson or two.
